Yep yep, someone mentioned counterfeit laws earlier in the thread, because they did sell it to me in their words a "high end replica" she goes "that'll fool a lot of people" and its illegal to sell counteefeit goods. Also as a comedic side note due to it being $90 I couldn't even carry it to the register, she gives me a number(fckn raffle ticket no less) and says the checkout person will come get it from her, then as I get to the register she walks up and hands it to her anyway saying oh I was just heading this way... Pmsl how overly careful they were for a "replica". Even funnier was that the 89.99 tag on it had been folded previously by so cheeky fucker who tried to buy it for $8.99 until he must have realised the tags have barcodes on them !! ROTFLMAO
in regards to a civil case for me though, that's debatable, because despite selling it as counterfeit, since you guys have drilled it in that it's real along with a watchmaker, then they didn't "technically" break the law now did they????!!!
Gets me to thinking who donates a real Swiss watch to an op shop, either someone very generous(possible) or very stupid, or unlucky. It does my head in, i want the story over!!!
I guess I haven't sold it to a dealer( you mean the stores on Collins St? Or are there others? I'm not a watch guy until 3 days ago haha) because I'm concerned about being the little guy and getting fucked over if it's stolen... I mean, it would be nice to know I did the right thing, but I have a record from my younger years, and that savers receipt don't prove shit to cops and savers will cover their arse, and I could get fucked, know what I mean?
Plus I actually just wanted it, and would have and did empty my pockets that day for it, and need a reliable time keeper with a date because I'm shit with time management and have to Many dead watches that I never replaced the batteries, I just wanted it to be fake and get on with my life haha, would have been so chuffed, it's an awesome watch, especially for the price.
